Energy Use and CO₂ Emissions

Energy use and CO₂ emissions represent a significant supply chain impact for Kellogg. Our recent carbon footprint assessments revealed that more than half of our products' lifecycle carbon emissions can be attributed to the ingredients that go into making them.

The figures at right illustrate our energy use and greenhouse gas emissions performance since 2005. Our global energy use and CO₂ emissions per metric tonne of food produced have both decreased since 2005 – energy use by 5.7 percent and CO₂ emissions by 8.9 percent. Initiatives to reduce energy use and CO₂ emissions include:

Our warehouse facility in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, achieved a 30 percent reduction in natural gas consumption between 2005 and 2009 through a variety of initiatives, including installation of an energy management system to control natural gas usage.
In the United States, we have decreased per-case fuel use in our Kellogg-operated truck fleet by 40 percent since 2005. We have done this by designing our routes more efficiently, using “governors” to control the speed of trucks and restricting the time the vehicles spend idling.
